President Adam Gutschall, of Shamokin,
large orders, one for yellow pine timber,
| l0xlI, and So feet long.
In the sweet by and bye we will have a
telephone from the boarding Louise TO the
round house. Engineer James Bonawitz is
determined TO train old Bloss the donkey,
by the word "go." What makes Jim so
mad is that whenever he has some good
looking girls on board and has 10 stop and
get off 10 fix something at the running gears,
away goes old Bloss with girls and all. The
wire was stacked at the boarding house gate
several nights ago.
Jos. Cantner and son, from Coburn, are
prospecting in Pine Swamp. Hope they
will open our silver mine.
There are strong indications for mild
winter in Pine Swamp. On one Of the
warm days of last week the hornets were
out in full force and lot of them took up
| quarters in JEFF Swanger's empty dinner
| bucket. JEFF was in the dark about the
siiuging colony in his bucket and took them
home. The surprise of his wife when she
uncovered the nest may be Imagined and
there was no time lost to show the unwel-
come guests the door,
\ party of seven hunters passed through
Pine Swamp on Friday. William Rhoads,
"A fifteen year-old lad from Coburn, had shot
fine three pronged buck, which made
William quite proud.
Another kissing party on Water street
this week. Hope they enjoyed it all.
Wallace Kerstetter and James Burd took
a flying visit TO Spring Mills on Saturday.
Two young Texas COW boys were turned
loose last Sunday and somehow they strayed
10 this section of the country. But the seri-
ous part of it was that they stayed in our
little city but very short time and took a
'free buss walk ana carry your own bag
gage" TO Junctionville where they actually
found rest TO their weary spirits at John
Moody's. The two young misses were inn
mensely delighted TO see them and every
thing went along swimmingly until the old
gentleman asked the young callers whether
they wished to stay all night. When the
boys answered in the negative Mr.. Moody
reminded them that il was about bed time
Then il was that the Texas heroes cast sheep
eyes at their fair companions and with
heavy hearts they turned their faces toward
Juuctionville depot where they roasted on
two poles over night. Rather poor court
ing place The pair of misses gloves and
the handkerchief that were found the next
day will be taken care of by Supt. Grubb
until the COW boys settle in full for the use
of the room. Long live the King. What
do you think, Lumber?
Mr. Isaac Burlington and wife, from Grind
| Squirrel Hollow, were visiting at L. j.
Swanger's last Saturday. They were great
ly surprised at our large city with its many
railroads and fine mountain scenery.
Miss Lizzie Scholl and Miss Ellen Walizer
of Millheim, were visiting here on Monday,
the guests of Mrs. Jennie Swanger. They
report good time.
BY all reports we are going to have a
winter school here. Hope the reports will
prove correct Our chlldrrn here should by
all means have an opportunity to get
common school education and parents should
not look to few dollars expense. A Miss
Burd, from Union county is expected to
take charge of the school,
The June bugs got the 9. b. The fellow
set a blue ointment trap for them and
caught dozens. Every bug-ger must be re-
lated to the jew peddler, for they all have
little gray bundle on their backs.
